Why do I need a dot at the end of my lookup?

I'm not familiar with this exact output, but... Host.domain.name is the 
machine where you ran c:\nslookup ? And server.domain.name is your 
DNS-server where you did this TCP-dump? If so, it looks like it's not the 
SERVER which attaches "int.domain.name" to the requests, since that is 
already mentioned in the DNS-request from Host.domain.name ?
